Gaza photojournalists joined in raiding safe rooms, lynching on Oct. 7 - report

A media watchdog NGO that focuses on anti-Israel reporting uncovered that two Gaza-based photojournalists who worked for AP and Reuters had bragged about footage they acquired while accompanying Hamas terrorists during the October 7 massacre.

Ashraf Amra and fellow photojournalist Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa recorded a video laughing at the lynching of an IDF soldier pulled from a tank on October 7 - footage they captured on the scene. The two displayed the footage while livestreaming.

These two were not alone, according to HonestReporting's data. What some might have seen as social media speculation was proven true after the NGO uncovered that Amra conducted an Instagram Live stream on October 7, laughing with his friends and colleagues about the events of the day and sharing what they had seen and done after infiltrating Israeli territory.

The report details the photojournalists' reflections on the day, adding that Abu Mostafa said: “We were there two hours ago, since the beginning.”

Eventually there will be enough dots to resolve the picture for even the most vision impaired but honest to see.

We are already at 4k but one must engage the noggin a wee bit.

How many of them are part of Hamas? It is clear that every aspect of Gazan society is intertwined with the terror group.

or even how little or much popular support they have they are literally the governing authority of Gaza.

They have a huge amount of control and influence and have purposefully embedded themselves EVERYWHERE from hospitals to schools to homes.

You almost may as well be picking a strawberry out of an already blended smoothie.

The pretense that isn't fiendishly difficult if not flat out impossible to only hit Hamas operatives is absurd and even if they do manage to do so, Hamas reports them all as innocent civilians anyway and they get folded right into THE BABIES! by the fan club and phoney pro genocide "peaceniks" who want to pick up where Hitler left off while hollering N****r and beating old ladies so we know the next stop on the whistle stop tour too.
